About
PANDA’s National Perinatal Mental Health Helpline is Australia’s only free national helpline for people affected by changes to their mental health and emotional wellbeing during the perinatal period. We support people throughout pregnancy up until their baby is 12 months old.
The Helpline provides a safe and confidential space for any expecting or new parent needing support with the challenges of becoming a parent.
FREE COUNSELLING, SUPPORT, INFORMATION AND REFERRAL
Our highly trained and caring counsellors help you work through your concerns by providing a safe, confidential space to talk openly and honestly about your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
We’re here to help you:
- Make sense of what you or your loved one is experiencing during the transition to parenthood.
- Identify your current coping skills and strengths as an expecting or new parent, or support person.
- Explore a range of perinatal mental health and wellbeing care strategies.
- Understand the support and treatment options available for expecting and new parents.
- Link in with community-based perinatal supports in your area.
You don’t need to be experiencing a crisis to reach out to PANDA.
We speak to callers about a broad range of issues that come up during pregnancy and early parenthood.
